Damn Johnny Sins is such a good teacher, loved this

Anyone affraid of the length on this one: I've watched an embarrassing amount on this subject. This one has a lot of tips and insights I haven't seen in other videos on this topic.. The pace is quick and the explanations are concise. It's kept light with some humor and what you learn is broken down in a S.M.A.R.T way to make them easier to implement and maintain. How many vids have you watched like that lately?

This was great!!! Actual real help and not just another "we know this already" tutorial. Love it!
